10000 units shipped in 6 months? How is this even possible?

Or do you mean 100000?

Negative 10000 units

Apr-Jun: 10000
Jul-Sept: -20000

Apri-Sept: -10000


I see. I understand, but i wouldn't have believed if it wasn't Nintendo themselves confirming it.

Jesus when people say WiiU is doing bad, they're not exagerating i guess. I wonder if it will it get discontinued if this keeps on happening.



This system seems to be doing really badly in Europe and Japan. Shame really, Nintendo should address this seriously and stop brushing it off gosh. In fact there is so little to no support coming from Japanese developers aside from Nintendo and 2nd parties :(.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Woah, I had no idea it was that bad in Europe...

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about stopping production. It happened to the GameCube and it was doing better than this.

Nintendo have handeled this horrible, but you make it seem like they haven't done anything about it. They can't just "make a game" or point a finger at third parties and say "support us." They fucked up, but if they ever recover with the Wii U, it will take time.

 

Remember, the way they speak to us might not be what they say to each other, so just because they still say (to give an example) that they think the Wii U is going to sell 9 million this fiscal year doesn't mean their dillusional, but they might think that is the right way to say it to us. If it is though is another story.

well it could be worse ...
but its the first time I've heard that the amount of returned units from the retailers is larger than the amount shiped making it to a negative number in shiped.

well 10k units more for other regions, but harder to find now in the eu ...


How could it be worse?



The thread title needs to be fixed.

It is - 10k shipment... it is NEGATIVE shipment.

Edit - Or I'm drunk or the thread title already changed

it can always be worse ... doesn't mean its not in a bad spot right now.
